Valentine's Day Cards with Isha and Lien

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a fun and cheerful card featuring the Passionate Penguins stamps and dies. I went with my favorite rainbow theme :)

Stamp the penguins from the Passionate Penguin stamp, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the balloons from the Heart Bouquet stamp, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Adhere to the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Color My World stamp. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here for the first time on the Sunny Studio blog with a cutesy valentine's day card using one of my favorite stamping techniques. 

For this card I'm using the Breakfast Puns stamp set for my focal point and my background. I absolutely adore these heart shaped waffles and I couldn't bring enough of them on my card. I first stamped my background onto white cardstock with Ballet Slipper ink from Concord & 9th, a subtle soft pink. I just put the waffle image, the strawberry image, and two heart images onto an acrylic block and got to building my pattern. 

The easiest way to do this is to start with your largest image and stamp it over and over again on your card panel first, then fill in the gaps with smaller and smaller stamps. If you really want to make sure you don't leave empty spots, try starting from the center of the card and working your way outwards. 

Once the background is done, I stamped the waffle and the strawberries a few times in black ink and colored them in with my Ohuhu alcohol markers. I used my misti for this and I did stamp everything again after coloring with Versafine Onyx Black ink so I could add clear gloss embossing powder to my outlines as well. I love a glossy black embossed outline and I definitely think it's worth the extra minute for your stamping!

I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and also die cut a tag from the Mini Mat and Tag 3 die set. I used some hot pink cardstock, light pink cardstock and I also cut the tag once more from vellum just to add a little extra something to peek out from behind the bold colored tag. 

I tied it all together with a piece of red embroidery floss and adhered everything on my card with some foam tape to add a little bit of dimension. Et voilà, a really fun and very pink Valentine's day card!

Teacher Appreciation Cards with Tammy and Candice

Hello! Tammy here with a fun project, featuring Teacher Appreciation, a versatile sentiment set that can be used not only for teachers, but for so many occasions and people in your life! For my project, I created an A2 card and a fun pencil shaped card.

For the A2 card I started with a white cardstock card base, then layered a green dotted rectangle cut from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones 6X6 Paper. Next, I added some fun notebook looking paper I found in my stash and stamped it with a sentiment from Teacher Appreciation in black ink, then added a little apple from Harvest Mice. To create the pencil, I cut yellow striped paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones 6X6 Paper using the Slimline Pennant Die. I cut 3 more pennants using kraft, guava, and silver cardstock. I created a scalloped edge using the smaller border die from the Slimline Pennant Die, then layered it over the kraft pennant. I used the Fishtail Banner Dies to create the pointed edge of the pencil. I then trimmed down the silver and guava pennants and attached to create the eraser and silver band you would find on a pencil. I added a little piece of charcoal cardstock to the end of the pencil to look like the lead. 

I attached the pencil to the card with foam tape for dimension, then white heat embossed the sentiment onto a charcoal cardstock sentiment strip to complete my card.

The shaped card was created exactly as the pencil on the A2 card, but I used the larger pennant from the Slimline Pennant Die to create it. Once the pencil was created, I attached it to a white card base, measuring 2 3/4 X 6 1/2" when folded. I then trimmed the sides along the pencil to create the pointed shape. Next, I stamped the sentiment in black ink from Teacher Appreciation onto some patterned paper and die cut it with the Stitched Circle Dies. I then layered it onto a charcoal Scalloped Circle Mat, added a small apple from Harvest Mice, and adhered to my card with foam tape to complete it!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my projects today! See you next time!

Hello! Candice with you sharing a fun thank you card today using the multi-purpose Teacher Appreciation stamp set!

I used these Sunny Studio products for my design:

• Teacher Appreciation stamps
• Looking Sharp stamps & coordinating dies
• Comic Strip Everyday dies
• Slimline Scalloped Frame dies
• Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper pad
• Gold Jewels

I began with a 6 1/2 x 5 card base. For the background, I die cut multiples of the Comic Strip Frame from grey cardstock and backed with the woodgrain pattern paper. I then die cut multiples of the 'thank you' and layered them adhering the 'thank' with foam tape and gluing the 'you' in the center frame.

Next, I stamped the cacti, colored them with copic markers, and cut out with the coordinating dies. I finished the sentiment with the smaller sentiments heat embossed in white on black banners and the 'brightened' in gold on white cardstock adhered with foam tape. A sprinkle of gold jewels add a bit of sparkle!

Thank you for stopping by with me today!

Slimline Pennant Die Focused Cards by Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the versatile Slimline Pennant Dies which can be used in many ways and of course they work with A2 standard size cards as well. I adore the Balloon Rides Stamps and added patterned papers to the background.

First, I cut out the diamonds pattern from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper pack with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set and adhered it to my A2 top-folding card base.

The cloudy paper (Summer Splash Paper) was die cut with the second largest pennant. To create a reverse banner I additionally used one of the Fishtail Banner Dies and cut off the top from the green floral pennant (Spring Fling Paper).

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The sentiment from the Lovable Llama set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed in white. Finally, I assembled my card by adhering all elements with liquid glue and foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have an amazing day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a cute shaped card using the Slimline Pennant Dies. 

I first created the card base from two large pennants. Now I die-cut the smaller pennant, stamped the otters, masked them and inked the background with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink. Then I die-cut the border from Slimline Nature Borders Dies from scrap paper and used this as a stencil to create waves with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. 

Supplies used:
Slimline Pennant Dies
Slimline Nature Borders Dies
My Otter Half Stamps + Dies

After I had added water droplets and details with a white gel pen, I colored the images with Copic markers and adhered the panel to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto vellum, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, die-cut the small pennant from it and adhered it. Then I die-cut the "otter" from blue cardstock and added it to the pennant.

This dies set is fantastic! Love what you can make with it. Have a lovely day!

Christmas Garland Frame Focused Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a new Christmas card using the Christmas Garland Frame Die. This frame adds the special something to a card!

I first inked the front of a white card base with Distress Oxide Inks. Now I die-cut the trees from Rustic Winter Dies, the snowdrifts from the Woodland Borders Die and the Christmas Garland Frame Die from white cardstock and adhered everything to the card. I die-cut a frame from red cardstock and adhered it. 

I stamped the snowman from Feeling Frosty and the ornament from Happy Owlidays onto cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered everything, adding a string to the ornament with a black marker. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the card.

Thanks for visiting today!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today's card was made using die-cuts only. I combined the Christmas Garland Frame Die with the deer and birds from the Rustic Winter Dies set to create a winter scene.

First, I started with an A2 Bristol cardstock panel and blended on Distress Oxide Inks (Victorian Velvet, Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose from the top; Tumbled Glass from the bottom). I let it dry completely and added random white paint splatters with a brush.

Next, I die cut the intricate tree bough frame from emerald cardstock using an additional metal shim in my die-cutting machine. I also die cut the deers and birds from dark brown and red carstock. I stacked the sentiments from the Merry Mice set and stamped them in VersaMark Ink onto a piece of vellum. Then I did some heat embossing with red embossing powder. To create a little banner, I used the Fishtail Banner Dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
